【即便漸凍的笑顏，不忘最溫熱的真摯】
即便顯然從沒有人抓到溫妮的笑點，甚至還在猶太教成年禮上發表了慘不忍睹的脫口秀，溫妮還是一直都自詡是幽默的開心果。而她的日常就是默默記下所有趣事和玩笑，不只是記給自己未來某個時刻可以使用、也等著跟她最親愛的爸爸兼前喜劇演員兼溫妮的靈感來源分享。

在她高一開學的第二天，那位號稱全校最風趣的同學聽了她在學餐排隊時說的玩笑話後真的笑了出來，還建議她可以加入他們的即興表演社，也許...他甚至有點在跟溫妮調情？

然而，就在溫妮準備好要再次投身進喜劇圈，命運卻砸下了重擊，她的爸爸被診斷出漸凍症，而這一點都不是玩笑...雖然她爸還是老樣子，總是開玩笑，但面對嘻皮笑臉的爸爸，溫妮心中的擔憂與恐懼卻不斷擴大。

即便顯然從沒有人抓到溫妮的笑點，甚至還在猶太教成年禮上發表了慘不忍睹的脫口秀，溫妮還是自詡是幽默的開心果。而她最大的靈感來源，莫過於是前喜劇演員的老爸。

在她高一開學的第二天，那位全校最風趣的同學聽了她的玩笑後笑了出來，還建議她加入即興表演社。就在溫妮準備好要投身喜劇圈，爸爸卻被診斷出漸凍症，而這一點都不是玩笑...

Winnie Friedman has been waiting for the world to catch on to what she already knows: she's hilarious.

It might be a long wait, though. After bombing a stand-up set at her own bat mitzvah, Winnie has kept her jokes to herself. Well, to herself and her dad, a former comedian and her inspiration.

Then, on the second day of tenth grade, the funniest guy in school actually laughs at a comment she makes in the lunch line and asks her to join the improv troupe. Maybe he's even . . . flirting?

Just when Winnie's ready to say yes to comedy again, her father reveals that he's been diagnosed with ALS. That is . . . not funny. Her dad's still making jokes, though, which feels like a good thing. And Winnie's prepared to be his straight man if that's what he wants. But is it what he needs?
